So I was out washing the car yesterday, and i decided i need to put some lugnut covers on my wheels, cause the bare nuts just dont look that stylin'. Anyway, decision options are:

1. OEM black lugnut covers

2. SLP chrome lugnut covers


I like the idea of chrome, but remember, i have chrome centercaps too, so im not sure if there is such a thing as too much chrome. Shold I put the old black caps back on, or just make everything chrome? All advice, opinions, comments welcome.

Oh, BTW: the firebird cavities on the centercaps are still not painted, i decided that i really like the unpainted look, so for now at any rate, they are just chrome. Thanks in advance!!!

I like the black covers on a dark colored car. The chrome covers look better on a car that is silver, pewter, etc...

Just my .02's!!!!!

I have both, actually, and the chrome covers have never been on the car. Even the spare set of chrome 10 spokes I have my race tires mounted on have the black covers, during the parade and car show events!!

I have chrome 5 spoke ZR1 wheels with black caps. IMO,chrome caps would be too much chrome.
